This bill mandates that candidates for school board trustee in Wyoming have their political party affiliation printed on general election ballots. It introduces a new section, W.S. 22-6-131, which specifies that the political party with which a candidate is affiliated must be included on the ballot. Additionally, the bill requires the secretary of state to create any necessary rules to implement this requirement.

Furthermore, the bill amends W.S. 22-6-123 regarding nonpartisan election ballots. It allows for the inclusion of political party designations on nonpartisan ballots, but only as authorized by law, while maintaining the requirement that these ballots be printed on yellow paper or with yellow demarcation and remain separate from partisan ballots. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
